Abstract excerpt
Number of teats (NT) is an important trait affecting both piglet's welfare and the production level of pig farms. Biologically, embryonic mammary gland development requires the coordination of many signaling pathways necessary for the proper development of teats. Several QTL for NT have been identified; however, further analysis is still lacking. Therefore, gene networks derived from genomewide association study...
